Improve indoor climate with office plants

Houseplants convert carbon dioxide into oxygen - so they are good for the indoor climate and help you feel more comfortable and productive at work. Some plants can even filter pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene or carbon monoxide.

The right location

Although the featured office plants are easy to care for and hardy, it's important to make sure they get enough light, water, and the occasional nutrient to encourage their growth and health. In general, plants should not be kept too moist, as this encourages rotting roots. However, longer periods of drought should be avoided. We therefore recommend spraying the leaves regularly to ensure sufficient humidity and watering plants from below. In addition, you can usually do nothing wrong with a bright location without direct sunlight.

supply green plants

Even with an undemanding office plant, regular fertilizing is essential for long-term health and growth, because fertilizer provides it with vital nutrients. Because of the continuous absorption of nutrients through the roots of a plant, these are eventually used up in the soil. Our FARBIO® organic fertilizer for green plants supports you in caring for your plants in the office! By supplying the most important nutrients, rapid growth is promoted and the development of lush green leaves and magnificent flowers is supported.
